Revelation 17:3,4,6,7,9,18 - the Woman has now turned into the whore, Babylon, the apostae New Covenant church.

Revelation 18:23 - the voice of Christ and His true people will not be heard in the apostate Church.

Revelation 21:2, 9,17 - the whore has been cleansed of her idolatries and other iniquities and is now a fitting, beautful, holy and perfect Bride for Christ.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. (Ephesians 5:25-27, ESV)

Ezekiel 16, etc.

Why did the Woman turn into the Great Whore?
Because of persecution and pressure from secular, civil and pagan sources (First Beast), and because of ecclesiatical deception, compromise and persecution from various Christian sources, the Antichrist and antichrists (Second Beast/the False Prophet).

About us

The PuritanBoard exists to promote robust discussion of theology in a Confessionally Reformed context. The modern trend of short statements of faith belies the many places where the Scriptures teach with great clarity. Though our respective Reformed confessions sometimes disagree, we believe that Churches have been given the gifts of teachers and elders to lead to the unity of the faith and the result of that unity is a Confessional Church confessing together: "This is what the Scriptures teach." The Confessions are secondary to the authority of Scripture itself but they arise out of Scripture as a standard exposition of the Word of God.
